1. If the new supplier does provide spools of .20-mm solid OFE copper wire that average 50 inches between flaws, how is the length of wire between two consecutive flaws distributed? 2. Using the probability distribution you identified in (1), what is the probability that Gebhardt's criteria will be met (i.e., a 1 in 20 chance that a randomly selected 3-foot segment of wire provided by the new supplier will be flawless)? 3. In inches, what is the minimum mean length between consecutive flaws that would result in satisfaction of Gebhardt's criteria? 4. In inches, what is the minimum mean length between consecutive flaws that would result in a 1 in 100 chance that a randomly selected 3-foot segment of wire provided by the new supplier will be flawless?
